2000 Fiat Punto HGT review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking mover... Bella!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reverse light went after 6 months.
Annoying 'clunk' of the exhaust when taking corners at speed. Had it looked at and was told there was nothing wrong.
General comments?
The car looks fantastic, Astral blue, Abarth alloys, the car looks sleek.
The performance is fast although you have to get the revs high and the engine is noisy at that level.
6 CD stereo & sat navigation is excellent.
Driving seat can be difficult at times to get comfy.
City button is good and when turned off feels good on country roads, although the steering could be a lot firmer.
One final thing, the Insurance rating is too high! At 15 it's quick, but not that quick. The initial quotes (23 male) I got were no cheaper than 3 grand! Almost stopped me from purchasing, but did find cheaper insurance in the end.
